In this Special Edition, we bring you a recording of the panel session at VON Europe in Stockholm, Sweden, in June 2007. Longtime Blue Box contributor Martyn Davies moderated the panel which included Ari Takanen of Codenomicon, Cullen Jennings of Cisco and Akif Arsoy of Verisign. Rather than going with canned presentations of slides, the panel was a conversation among the panelists based on questions that Martyn had as well as questions from the audience. I think you will find it both enjoyable and educational.

We thank Martyn for contributing this recording and also compliment him on what is one of the best conference recordings we've ever offered as far as audio quality goes. Dan also thanks Cullen Jennings for standing in for him when Dan was suddenly unable to attend Podcamp Europe.

Why "Blue Box"?

We chose the name "Blue Box" primarily as a nod to the era of phone phreaking in part to illustrate that threats to telephony are not new - they just continue to change and evolve. That and admittedly the name just sounded cool.
